The Power Of Words
The Power Of Words
Sometimes we hear a loved ones voice deep inside our mind
Repeating things they’ve said to us insensitive or kind
Spoken years before or as recent as yesterday
Involuntarily set to replay to spoil or make our day
The power of words are mightier than the sword it’s true
Capable of defending or criticising everything we do
Yet we are seldom mindful of what we freely say
Driven by our own ego unconsciously be it may
Once uttered like verbal arrows they fly straight to the heart
To be remembered and to cherish or to tear apart
To avoid recrimination we should take some sage advice
Adopt the ‘Golden Rule’ before speaking well heeded by the wise
